Saga Edition

Conversion Guide
GARY M. SARLI
 Ultimately, the best way to start a campaign for the new Saga Edition of
Design Gary M. Sarli the Star Wars Roleplaying Game is by generating new characters.
However, many players will want to transfer characters from the
previous version of the rules outlined in the Revised Core Rulebook.
Editing Ray Vallese These guidelines are designed to help you convert characters, equipment,
and other mechanics from the previous version into the new rules.
Throughout the process, remember that conversion from one game
Typesetting Ray Vallese, Gary M. Sarli system to another is by definition an inexact science. Though the
guidelines provide a foundation for conversion, they can't be exhaustive,
nor are they perfect. You'll see a lot of vague references to
Production Erik Olsen approximation, estimates, and “starting points.” You and your
Gamemaster should work together to ensure that the spirit of your
character is preserved during the process, even if the numbers don't

The Basics
There have been a few simple changes to basic mechanics that apply to
virtually every character in the game.
Hit Points: For heroic characters, hit points are equal to vitality
Director of RPG R&D Bill Slavicsek points, but add twice your maximum vitality points from your class at
1st level to your total. For example, a soldier 5/noble 3 would add 20 hit
points to his total; his class at first level has d10 vitality, and twice the
maximum (10 vitality points) yields +20 hit points.
For nonheroic characters, hit points are 1d4 + Con modifier per level
(an average of 2.5 hit points + Con modifier per level, rounded down).
Defenses: Your Reflex, Fortitude, and Will Defense scores are
calculated with a new method. Each defense score has a value of 10 +
heroic level (or armor bonus, if any) + relevant ability modifier + best
2 class defense bonus + size modifier (if any). See the Saga Edition
rulebook, page 36, for a list of class defense bonuses, and see each
prestige class description for their individual class defense bonuses.
Damage Threshold: Your damage threshold is equal to your Fortitude
Defense unless you are greater than Medium size (see Creatures, page 15
of this document) or you have a talent, feat, or class feature that
increases it.

Some rules mechanics are based on the Star Wars Roleplaying Game Revised Core Rulebook by
Bill Slavicsek, Andy Collins, and JD Wiker, the original DUNGEONS & DRAGONS® rules created Species
by E. Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson, and the new DUNGEONS & DRAGONS game designed by
Jonathan Tweet, Monte Cook, Skip Williams, Richard Baker, and Peter Adkison.
For the most part, species from the previous rules are playable in the
new rules. The primary changes you’ll need to make are outlined below.

Table 1: Species
SPECIES SPECIES TRAITS
Geonosian +2 Str, –2 Int, –2 Wis, –2 Cha; speed 6 sq., fly 8 sq.; +1 natural armor; +2 species bonus to Fortitude Defense vs. radiation;
low-light vision; bonus feat: Weapon Proficiency (advanced melee weapons); conditional bonus feat: Skill Focus (Mechanics)
if trained in Mechanics; languages: Geonosian.
Jawa +2 Dex, –2 Str, –2 Cha; Small (+1 Reflex Defense, +5 Stealth); speed 4 sq.; may take 10 on Survival checks in desert terrain,
reroll Mechanics checks when repairing an object, vehicle, or droid; darkvision; languages: Jawa and Jawa Trade Language.
Kaminoan +2 Con, –2 Wis; speed 6 sq.; may take 10 on Survival checks in aquatic terrain, reroll Treat Injury and Knowledge (life
sciences) checks; languages: Kaminoan and Basic.
Noghri +2 Dex, –4 Cha; Small (+1 Reflex Defense, +5 Stealth); speed 6 sq.; scent; primitive; bonus feat: Martial Arts I; reroll Initiative
checks; languages: Honoghran.
Tusken Raider +2 Con, –2 Int, –2 Wis; speed 6 sq.; reroll Stealth and Survival checks; languages: Tusken.

If you have an additional movement type (for example, a climb speed or
a swim speed), convert the speed to squares as described above. Any
species with a climb speed can reroll Climb checks or take 10 even under
stress, and any species with a swim speed can reroll Swim checks or take
10 even under stress.
Skills: If the species gains a skill bonus of some sort, replace it with
one of the options outlined below; of these, the “reroll” option is by far
the most common. Generally, a species shouldn’t have special rules for
more than two skills.
Reroll: You may reroll a skill check for a given skill, but you must
keep the second result. If the species’ bonus in the previous rules only
applied to part of a skill (for example, Intimidation is now just a part of
Persuasion), limit the reroll to a single use of that skill (for example, you
can reroll only when using Persuasion to intimidate). This is best used for
a species that is naturally good—or, rather, naturally unlikely to fail—
with a given skill, whether trained or not.
Conditional Bonus Feat: You gain Skill Focus (skill) if you are trained
in that skill. This is best for skills where the species is best known for
producing highly skilled experts or professionals in a given field. For
example, Bothans make exceptionally good spies, but they spend a lot of
time training to achieve that distinction. In addition, this may be used as
a way to further enhance a species’ natural aptitude with a skill that
already gets a reroll. For example, Cereans get a reroll and a conditional
bonus feat for Initiative.
Take 10 Under Stress: You may take 10 at any time with the skill.
This is usually reserved for Swim and Climb checks when the species has
a swim or climb speed, respectively.
Other Abilities: Most other abilities should have a clear analog. For
example, a species that used to gain Iron Will as a bonus feat should
instead get a +2 species bonus to its Will Defense. Similarly, a species
with Toughness as a bonus feat should gain either Toughness (if you
want them to last a bit longer in a fight) or Improved Damage Threshold
(if you want them to be hard to hurt or kill). Low-light vision and
darkvision are kept intact, but make sure you use the versions shown in
Chapter 2: Species.
Droids
Droids are the one aspect of the new rules that are best converted by
starting from scratch. Unlike the previous rules, Saga Edition presents a
comprehensive system for designing and building new droids, so
retaining the balance in the new rules can be tricky. Still, if you want to
convert a droid and keep it as close as possible to the previous version,
follow the steps outlined below.
Abilities: For unique, heroic droids (such as one created specifically
for a player character), no adjustment is necessary. For mass-produced
models of droids, determine the droid's natural ability scores by
subtracting the size modifiers by degree and size (Saga Edition rulebook,
pages 186–187); discard the droid's original Constitution score, since it
is not used in the new rules. Replace these ability scores with 13, 12, 11,
10, and 9, from highest to lowest (or 15, 14, 13, 12, and 10 if the droid's
first level is in a heroic class). If two ability scores have the same value,
you may put the higher score in whichever one you wish. Finally, add the
degree and size modifiers back into the ability scores to determine their
final value.
Hit Points and Damage Threshold: If the droid is Large or greater
size, make sure you add the appropriate adjustment to the droid's hit
points and damage threshold (see Table 11–2, Saga Edition rulebook,
page 187).
Speed: Determine the droid's speed as shown for species (see above),
up to the maximum listed for the droid's locomotion system and size 3
(see Table 11–3, Saga Edition rulebook, page 188).
Unarmed Damage: Replace the droid's unarmed damage with the
appropriate amount for its size and appendages (see Table 11–4, Saga
Edition rulebook, page 190).
Other Systems and Accessories: Most other systems and accessories
should have a clear equivalent in the new rules. When in doubt, compare
to a droid that has game statistics in both systems (such as an R2
astromech, a 3PO protocol, or a B1 battle droid).
Classes and
Prestige Classes
Classes and prestige classes are substantially changed from their
previous versions (see Table 2: Classes and Prestige Classes, and Table 3:
Class Features). Instead of having predetermined class features that are
granted at particular levels, classes and prestige classes in Saga Edition
have “talents” that can potentially be selected in any order. This
maximizes the degree of customization possible in the new rules, but it
makes converting an old character somewhat tricky.
Keep in mind that some classes have been merged with others, and
each class is meant to be very flexible in its scope. Don’t get caught up
on the name of a class; instead, focus on its functionality and role. For
example, an officer, business executive, or professor might all be
members of the noble class despite having no aristocratic background.
They are logical members of that class because of their leadership skills
and education.

* The Force adept concept can be played with any class, but those that come from isolated worlds (the default for Force adepts in the Revised Core
Rulebook) are most often scouts.
** Many scoundrels are also well adapted to the gunslinger prestige class.

Other Prestige Classes
To convert other prestige classes to the Saga Edition rules, use existing
prestige classes as a starting point for a comparison. A few specific
suggestions are outlined below.
Requirements: Convert skill rank requirements to skill training in the
equivalent skill, and add a “Minimum Character Level” requirement equal
to (required skill ranks) – 3. For other requirements, look for an
equivalent talent, feat, or class feature.
Hit Points: Prestige classes should grant the same number of hit
points at each level as their old versions granted in vitality points.
Starting Feats: Prestige classes should not have starting feats in the
new rules.
Defense Bonuses: To figure out a prestige class’s class defense
bonuses, look at the previous progression of Fortitude, Reflex, and Will
saving throws to determine if they are “high” (starting at +2), “medium”
(starting at +1), or “low” ( starting at +0). Generally, a high bonus should
be +4 in the new rules, a medium bonus should be +2, and a low bonus
should be +0. For example, a prestige class with a good Fortitude save
and a medium Reflex save should have class defense bonuses of +4
Fortitude Defense and +2 Reflex Defense.
The total of all class defense bonuses should be +6 for most prestige
classes. If you went over this amount, reduce class defense bonuses
(starting with the lowest) until you reach the right amount. For example,
if a class had two high and one medium saving throw, this would be +4,
+4, and +2—four points too many. Reducing the lowest class bonus first,
we’re left with +4 and +4 in the highest two—still two points too many.
Removing points from them equally yields +3 and +3—a total of six
points.
Class Features: Most class features can be left intact or used with
slight adjustments. Note that the new rules generally avoid giving a
bonus to skill checks. Instead, consider abilities that reduce penalties,
allow rerolls, or allow the character to take 10 even under stress. As
always, look for an existing talent or class feature in the Saga Edition
rules that is close to the previous class feature.

Equipment
Like everything else, equipment usually works similarly to how it did
before, but there are a few significant exceptions.
Weapons
The primary things you’ll need to adjust with weapons are range,
translating multifire/autofire into the new rules, and (occasionally)
12 changing damage dice.
Range
Ranged weapons have their range determined by their weapon group. In
addition, they may have the accurate/inaccurate quality, depending on
their range increments (see Table 6: Accurate and Inaccurate Weapons
by Range Increment).
Exotic Weapons: To determine the range for an exotic weapon,
compare it to the most similar weapon to determine what range group it
should use. For example, a Medium-size weapon with a stock is probably
most similar to a rifle, while a Large shoulder-fired weapon is probably
most similar to a heavy weapon. Determine the accurate or inaccurate
quality as described above.
Autofire Capability
Most weapons are single-shot only. Rifles with a multifire setting will
have single-shot and autofire capability in the new rules. Any weapon
with an autofire setting in the old rules will be an autofire-only weapon
in the new rules.
Threat Range
Note that all weapons inflict critical hits at the same rate in the new
rules, so the critical threat range in the previous rules is not used.
Damage
Damage dice are the same, with a few exceptions:
Explosives: Grenades, thermal detonators, and the like no longer
have a bonus after their damage dice (for example, 4d6+1 is now 4d6).
Other explosive weapons, such as missile launchers and flechette
launchers, have d6 damage dice. Figure the weapon’s maximum damage
and divide by 6, rounding down, to determine the number of damage
dice.
Example: A DF-D1 flechette launcher deals 5d8 points of damage.
Its maximum damage is 40; dividing by 6 and rounding down, we get 6.
Thus, in Saga Edition, the DF-D1 deals 6d6 points of damage.

in the new rules. Speed: A vehicle’s speed is determined by its maximum velocity (in
Nonpowered Weapons: All other nonpowered weapons should only km/h). Generally, capital ships (that is, anything of Colossal [frigate] or
deal a single die of damage. Add the weapon’s maximum damage to its greater size) do not have a character-scale speed rating. At this 1.5-

1,000 km/h or more 16 squares
* Reduce speed by one step for walkers of Gargantuan or greater size.

Maximum velocity itself does not change.

 Speed (starship scale): For airspeeders and starships with a
maximum velocity rating (in km/h), determine the vehicle’s speed in
space using the following chart:
MAX VELOCITY SPEED (IN SPACE)
less than 800 km/h 1 square
800–949 km/h 2 squares
950–1,049 km/h 3 squares
1,050–1,199 km/h 4 squares
1,200–1,299 km/h 5 squares
1,300 km/h or more 6 squares
If a starship does not have a maximum velocity rating, its new speed
in space is equal to 1/2 its space speed in the previous rules.
Hit Points: Hit points are determined by the vehicle’s previous Hull
Points. The exact formula is determined by the vehicle’s class (starship
vs. vehicle) and its previous Hull Points.
Starship with 200 or more Hull Points: Hit points = Hull Points × 3.
Starship with less than 200 Hull Points: Hit points = Hull Points.
Other vehicle (including airspeeders): Hit points = Hull Points × 2.
Damage Reduction: A vehicle’s damage reduction is determined by
its size: up to Large, DR 5; Huge or Gargantuan, DR 10; Colossal or
Colossal (frigate), DR 15; Colossal (cruiser) or greater, DR 20. Ground
vehicles with 150 or more hit points add an additional +5 to their DR
(maximum DR 20).
Shield Rating (SR): A vehicle’s SR is equal to its Shield Points / 2,
rounding down to the nearest multiple of 5.
Strength: A starship’s Strength is determined by its hit points and
size (both determined above). A vehicle’s strength is determined by its
14
hit points only.
Starship, Colossal (station): Strength = 98 + (hit points/75).
Starship, Colossal (cruiser): Strength = 74 + (hit points/75).
Starship, Colossal (frigate): Strength = 50 + (hit points/75).
Starship, Colossal or less: Strength = 26 + (hit points/7.5).
Other vehicle, 100 or more hit points: 18 + (hit points/10).
Other vehicle, less than 100 hit points: 10 + (hit points/5).
Constitution: Any living vehicle (such as Yuuzhan Vong technology)
will have a Constitution equal to its Strength score. This doesn’t affect
hit points or Fortitude save, but it can be useful for determining if a
coralskipper or another living vehicle dies after being reduced to 0 hit
points. Living vehicles automatically have all appropriate environmental
immunities. For example, a coralskipper is not subject to vacuum,
atmospheric, or radiation hazards because it is a starship designed to
function in such hostile environments.
All nonliving vehicles (that is, the vast majority of Star Wars
technology) have no Constitution score at all.
Dexterity: There is no direct analog to a vehicle’s Dexterity in the
previous rules. Use the guidelines below to estimate a vehicle’s Dexterity,
picking a specific value in the listed range based on how that vehicle
compares with others. When in doubt, give the vehicle the minimum
Dexterity in a given range.
A vehicle shouldn’t have a Dexterity score below 10 unless it is an
immobile space station.
DEXTERITY VEHICLE
10–13 Most freighters, dreadnoughts, heavy walkers
Most cruisers, most frigates, armed transports,
14–16 heavy bombers, light walkers, heavy
repulsorlift vehicles
Corvettes, most starfighters, light repulsorlift
17–19
vehicles
Superiority fighters, combat airspeeders, older
20–23
speeder bikes
24–26 Most speeder bikes, swoops, interceptors
Intelligence: A vehicle’s Intelligence score is generally 10 + the best
fire control bonus of all its weapons. For relatively modern vehicles with
sophisticated on-board computers (that is, almost everything in the Star
Wars galaxy, except vehicles from underdeveloped planets), the
minimum Intelligence should be 12 for ground vehicles and 14 for
airspeeders and starships.
